Aims and objectives
The aim of this quality improvement project was to evaluate our current
practice for achieving and checking haemostasis in tonsillectomies,
whilst considering if an alternative approach would result in improved
patient outcomes. In doing so, we thereby focussed on the following
objectives:
To identify a new practice, which is safe and sustainable, for
achieving and checking haemostasis during tonsillectomy.
To reduce the incidence of post-operative haemorrhage following
tonsillectomy.
